How to Create a Custom Themes in Google Chrome Using the New Generative AI Features.

If you are using Google Chrome and have recently updated to version 121 or newer you now have access to custom AI themes. So if Generative AI and themes are your kind of thing follow along as we quickly show you how to create your own custom Chrome theme using the new Gerneative AI tool built into Chrome.

How to Create a Custom Google Chrome Theme Using Build in Generative AI Tools.

To begin the first thing you need to do is make sure that you are using Google Chrome version 121 or newer. If you aren't sure you can check by going to Settings > About. Now just wait and Chrome will automatically update. Once the Chrome restarts you will have the latest version available and you can start creating custom themes. If you still don't have version 121 you can switch to Google Chrome Canary to get access right now.

To create themes with AI in Google Chrome, do the following:

First, open Chrome.
Then open a new tab.
Click the Customize Chrome button in the bottom right-hand side of the screen.
Now click the Change theme option.

Here you will see a couple of options so click the Create with AI option.
This part is the most important part so, choose a topic for the theme using the “Subject” setting.
If you want to you can also choose one of the available styles and mods from the “Add optional details” setting.
Select a primary colour for the theme.
Finally, click the Create button and see what the tool creates for you.
Choose one of the themes created with AI to apply it.

You may have to do this quite a few times to get the results that you are looking for as Generative AI is pretty random and can often be quite hit-and-miss. However, after a few attempts, you should find something that you can personalise your browser with.

Google Chrome Version 121 gets brand new AI Features.

Everyone knew AI was coming to Google Chrome sooner or later but the two features to drop first are rather odd ones. An AI tab organiser and a new generative AI feature for creating themes.

Enable AI features on Chrome

If you want to make sure you have access to all of the AI features when they are released you can make the following changes.

Open Chrome on Windows 11.
Click the “Customize and control Google Chrome” (three dots) menu.
Choose the Settingsoption.
Click on Experimental AI.
Turn on the “Try out experimental AI features” toggle switch.

Depending on the feature you may still have to flip a toggle here and there but more often than not Google will add everything and set it to on by default.
